UN Women UK operates as the United Kingdom’s National Committee for UN Women, functioning as an independent nonprofit and charity registered in the UK. Based in the United Kingdom, it pursues gender equality locally while supporting UN Women’s work worldwide. Its activities span government, policy, business, communities and public spaces as it seeks to challenge the norms, policies and systems that restrict women and girls. The organization centers on all women and non-binary people experiencing gender discrimination and acknowledges how gender intersects with race, disability, class, sexuality, religion, nationality and social background. Through programmes, campaigns and a grassroots network, it aims to create safer spaces, influence decisions and direct resources to women’s rights work in the UK and globally. 

Its work operates within the non-profit sector, collaborating with public and private partners to advance gender equality across settings and at multiple levels. A recent development is a partnership with Media Trust group to produce ten short charity films that showcase efforts to tackle violence against women and girls. The organization functions as the UK-based pillar of UN Women, linking domestic action with global priorities while focusing on impact in the UK and beyond.
